CHICAGO, January 4.-There was a
marked slump in the price of wheat to-day,
closing figures ranging nearly &c under
those of yesterday. Wheat for May de-
livery was reported at 81 on the curb be-
fore regular trading hours, or at about the
same figures as the close yesterday. First
official sales on Change, however, were at
sic, with q few sales as high as size. Of
ferings in the pit, however, at once began
numerous and a sharp decline to Sc! fol-
when the market halted a trifle, but
again took a downward turn under large
offerings of long wheat and free hammer
ing by the bears. There were all sorts OF
rumOrs for the sudden transition from the
firm showing yesterday, n of which was
that New York exporters were free sellers
of wheat purchased yesterday. The lowest
price of the day for May delivery was S5sa
Sc, touched near close of afternoon trad
ing, closing at Sc. Corn was fairly active
and lower. Mess pork declined 40a5Oc per
barrel, closing at inside figures. Lard fell
off 17Ia2Oc per cwt. Flour-Firm. Wheat
